Adaptability, Performance, and Delivery by Alexandre Maldaner, Jerry Li
Strong technical knowledge and high team performance are certainly key ingredients for an engineering organization to deliver the results the business needs. But there is obviously a lot more to it, especially in times of accelerated organization growth. In this session, we want to quickly talk about the importance of adaptability and experience: in a rapidly changing world, software engineers are constantly challenged with situations that require them to quickly adapt - new technologies they need to learn, new processes they need to embrace, conflicting and ever-changing requirements, different people they need to interact with, etc.
